Welcome to the new home of "This Week in Plasma"! No longer is it a private personal thing on my (Nate Graham's) blog, but now it's a weekly series hosted here on KDE's infrastructure, open to anyone's participation and contribution! I'll remain the editor-in-chief for now, and welcome contributions via direct push to the relevant merge request on invent.kde.org. And after a post is published, if you find a typo or broken link, feel free to just fix it.
I was wondering about adding symbolic versions of tray icons for a while because some of them really stand out, especially if using custom colors (Signal, Vesktop, OBS Studio etc.)
Makes more sense to have it here, I agree! By the way, I really liked the “Other bug information of note”, with total nr fixed, high prio and 15 min bugs, any chance that is coming back?
Congratulations on moving to the KDE infrastructure. But still missing the section with VHI bugs, 15 minutes and bugs of all types.
Also, the new article looks small, despite the big upgrade at the beginning. But hopefully more developers will now find out about the new way of writing TWIKs
there is now a small tag at the top linking to the blog series and where to find the link to the RSS feed. I will need see if I find a nice way to add also a RSS icon next to that
Speaking of the new home for the blogs, it would be cool if there were html anchors for the text. For example, I’d like to link someone to the thing about symbolic icons.
Hope that’s a useful idea
@pallaswept, using Markdown headings on Discourse posts usually automatically adds those anchors. I presume that because these are originally in HTML form and automatically cross-posted, this doesn’t apply? I agree that it’d be useful, but perhaps this should be requested upstream, since I’ve had this problem on FAQ pages and the like on other Discourse instances too.
First of all, appreciate the fast response from everyone! Firefox addons can usually detect if a page has an RSS feed, but show nothing for the blog page. Hence my ask. And yes, a mention there would be super helpful as well. I bet there’s quite a few old geezers like me that still use RSS
Thanks for the new OOM Notifier, however I find the message not very helpful.
When I miss an application, I surely wouldn’t look for a notification from the “Linux Kernel”. (The user might not be on the seat when the app is closed.)
I would expect a notification, which includes the app name, like “%app has been closed due to memory shortage”
In the explanatory text, maybe the memory usage could be stated, like “%app used %GB of memory, which was more than the available free memory.”
Also maybe hint at a memory leak. Also maybe a link to kSystemMonitor to check memory usage.
